KDE Plasma 5.24.3 LTS released with plasma wayland session improvements for multi-GPU
systems
And KDE Plasma 5.24.3 LTS was released with improvements to the Plasma Wayland session
for multi-GPU systems.
Check out what's new and see how to install on Linux.
KDE Plasma Desktop is an amazing environment that offers a beautiful-looking desktop that
takes full advantage of modern computing technology.
The team behind project says that if you're looking for a familiar work environment, Plasma
Desktop offers all the tools needed for a modern desktop computing experience so you
can be productive from the start.
Incidentally, through the use of scalable visual effects and graphics, the desktop experience
is not only smooth, but also pleasing to the eye.
Now, the KDE Project has released KDE Plasma 5.24.3 as the third maintenance update for
the latest and best series of KDE Plasma 5.24 LTS desktop environments, to troubleshoot
more bugs and add multiple changes to a more stable and reliable Plasma desktop experience.
What's new with KDE Plasma 5.24.3
KDE Plasma 5.24.3 is here two weeks after upgrading plasma 5.24.2 and brings more improvements
to the Plasma Wayland session, especially for multi-monitor and multi-GPU systems.
There are a total of 48 changes included in the KDE Plasma 5.24.3 update.
For example, it fixes a large regression in Plasma 5.24.2 that broke the settings of multiple
monitors and multiple GPUs when using Wayland.
Also for the Plasma Wayland session, this update improves screen sharing, recording,
or streaming in full-screen applications, improves the virtual keyboard to not overtap
half the vertical panel setting, and improves colors so they no longer appear dotted on
some hardware.
For multi-monitor configurations, KDE Plasma 5.24.3 improves desktop and panel mappings
to be more robust, not including more invalid screen inputs, and enables users to adjust
the backlight of their screens when using certain types of multi-GPU systems.
The system tray has also been improved in this release, vertically aligning the applet
labels to ensure that the first line on multiline labels always matches other applets, including
those with 1 or 3 lines, as well as to resolve an issue where clicking a tray application
icon no longer causes it to be activated by left-clicking on other Task Manager items.
Among other notable changes, KDE Plasma 5.24.3 again adds the ability to apply changes to
the Touchpad page in System Settings, fixes the "Help" buttons in the Info Center app,
improves the bar graphics of the Plasma System Monitor app, and improves Plasma Discover
so as to no longer display the text style incorrectly for applications or firmware.
In addition, there are some performance improvements in the file dialogs, which now open faster
when the initial view is a network location, and some memory leaks have been fixed in the
plasma_session process to make the Plasma desktop environment more reliable and stable
for everyday use.
Last but not least, KDE Plasma 5.24.3 improves the login screen so that it doesn't omit its
name if it contains more than 11 characters and there are multiple user accounts on the
system, improves the Digital Clock applet so that it doesn't skip seconds in minute
changes, and vertically center text on the vertical tabs in breeze style.
How to install or upgrade
Plasma 5.24.3 is already official, but as always, that doesn't mean we can easily install
it on our Linux distribution.
The first system to have it available will be KDE neon, where it will probably arrive
in the next few hours.
Later, they will add other distributions, among which Rolling Releases will appear earlier,
although this does not mean that they will soon; may take a few days or even a few weeks.
Then the KDE Plasma desktop environment will soon arrive in the stable software repositories
of your favorite Linux distribution, especially releases like KDE neon, Arch Linux, openSUSE
Tumbleweed and Solus.
